About Credit Reports and Ratings
In much the same way that a resume displays your work experience to a prospective employer, a credit report provides prospective creditors (and in some cases employers and insurers too) with a detailed picture of your credit history. And like a resume, your credit report can influence whether you will receive what you are applying for.

Ideally, your credit report is an accurate, up-to-date reflection of your credit history. However, since we don't live in an ideal world, there are many reasons that your credit report could contain inaccuracies that might prevent you from receiving the credit you deserve. 

Five Reasons to Check Your Credit Report Regularly
Inaccuracies & Mixed Credit Files
Tracking Payments
Identity Theft
Inquiries
Credit Fraud (Unauthorized Charges)
